- Our technicians inspect both and will recommend resurfacing versus replacement based on OEM specs and the safest, most cost-effective solution.
- If your repair is warranty-covered, it must be performed at a certified dealership to keep coverage valid; our team will explain warranty details during your visit.

- Regular inspections during oil changes or brake checks let us track wear and help you plan repairs with minimal downtime and cost.
- Ask about our rotating maintenance offers and service specials to bundle needed work and save on long-term maintenance.
What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?
- Resurfacing (turning) smooths the rotor surface to remove light grooves and restore a flat contact surface; replacement is required when thickness or damage exceeds safe limits.
- Resurfacing can be cost-effective for minor damage, but replacement is the safer long-term choice when rotors are too thin or compromised.
- At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Tucson we assess to provide the most durable, economical solution, backed by OEM parts, certified techs and warranty protection.
Front and Rear Brake Rotors
The difference between front and rear rotors on a 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI is mainly one of workload and design. Front rotors handle the bulk of braking force because weight shifts forward during deceleration, so front rotors typically wear faster and may need attention sooner. Rear rotors, while important for balanced stopping and stability, often last longer. Our technicians at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Tucson inspect both front and rear during every brake service to ensure even pad wear, correct caliper operation and proper brake balance. We use OEM rotors and pads to maintain the integrity of ABS and electronic stability systems, and we explain the trade-offs of resurfacing versus replacement for each axle. Ask about current service specials and financing options to manage repair costs without delay. When you schedule service, expect a transparent estimate, factory-trained techs, genuine parts and a warranty that protects your investment and keeps your Golf GTI stopping as it should.
